Dinner went pretty much the same as usual, My brothers bickering just with a few odd glances between my father and I as we ate. My father pretty much not so fond of me because I wasn't as smart as he expected me to be. Today's was last day of school and we got the results which I'm pretty much not excited about. He hated that I played sports, and for some reason, it was the only thing that I enjoy. But with my mother and father, it angered them more and more. They had never been to one of my football games. My brothers had good grades, but of course I wasn't good enough for them. I just wanted them to love me and care for me just like how they care about my grades but that will never happen. I zoned out my thoughts when I felt a kick to my leg , I looked up at Julian my third oldest brother smirking at me.
"So Caden," I turned my head towards my father "How's your grades? " My palms started to sweat. For some reason, I don't want him to know about it and wish he could have just forget but then I'm not the only child or maybe just forget that I ever exist. It's not the first time I've had this conversation but I could never calm my anxiety and I don't want them to know. The whole table stayed quiet "I...uh..it's.." I whisper, looking down at my lap. "What did you say? You need to speak up, Caden."
I can tell by Father tone he's pissed. I stayed quiet and I heard one of my brothers whisper " pussy" which I assume it was Liam. My heart stung as I hear his words he was my everything and favorite brother. "Just go to your room " my father said while glaring at me . I know he wasn't done with it, I didn't say a word as I walked towards the stairs up to my room.I laid on my bed looking up at the ceiling thinking about this shitty life and how pathetic I am . Before I can get lost in my thoughts my door burst open revealing my parents standing there . I quickly stood up. My mother shook her head disappointed in me while my father just stared at me blankly.
He cleared his throat before talking " Do you have to be any more stupid? "He started" I've had it with you. Why can't you just be smart as your brothers are? " I winced as he grabbed my arm digging his finger nails into it. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes but I held it back . "You're a disgrace in my family and I will never tolerate that. I'm done with you " "Just go pack your bags. You're leaving tomorrow" I stood there dumbfounded by what he means , " You're not in this family anymore. Tomorrow morning you're at adoption center " My heart sink as I heard that.
I looked at my mother for confirmation, she just walked away with emotion on her face with my father following her ,my father turning to give one last glance,I looked at him hoping to see some sort of regret with his decision, but I didn't. All I saw was his eyes something else mattered to him that was better than his own son. He walked out slamming the door shut. After few mins my youngest brother Blake came in my room and ran to me when he was me crying "What happened? " I couldn't bring myself to explain to him the whole thing but I just did told him and he hugged me crying. I was 10, I had friends and sports that I loved. That night changed my life forever and I promised myself that I will forgive them.
End of flashback
I was brought out of my thoughts with someone pulling my arms"Dada" I glanced down at my three year old daughter and scooped her up to my arms.she giggled as I tickled her neck " Yes, love? " she looked at me with a silly smile scrunching up her nose " I will tell mommy you said that" I laughed at her silly smile which I'm pretty much whipped for. I lean to her cheeks showering her with kisses " Dada, stop." She tried pushing my face I stopped and looked at her " Is it request or an order?" " Order" she said with a very serious face and I stopped it's an order and I would do anything for my princess.
She smiled with so mischievous I cocked my eyebrows and looked at her before I could confront her about what she has done , my girlfriend comes downstairs dressed up with her bag in her hand " Seriously Liliana why? Where's the lipstick ?" She asked looking up at our daughter while I just zoned out looking at her perfect sexy body that I could fuck all night , damn it I'm so lucky. " Get your head out of the gutter " My girlfriend Aurora snapping me out of my thoughts hitting me with her bag " We're so late Caden, what are you doing? Get the kids buckled in and start the car."
I sat down Liliana to the ground as she gave me the lipstick and ran outside to the car with her brother. I walked towards my girlfriend and hugged from behind nuzzling my head into her neck" Mhm you look good " I mumbled Looking at her from the mirror while she's doing her mascara , she untangled herself and looked at me with stern " Didn't you just hear what I said ? " so bossy but I'm into it. I pecked her lips few times before pulling away and handing her the lipstick " It tastes good. Keep it for tonight " I said walking towards the garage door . We're going to my parents house since we just came from Spain for a vacation now we are visiting them. Also my mom have been nagging about bringing the twins she missed them.
The kids rushed inside my parents house after I unbuckled them with Aurora as I'm following them behind. I saw my kids with mom and chiara talking. I got startled as I felt a slap to my back I turned around to see my oldest brother Romeo " I've missed you , little brother." I hugged him back . We untangled each other from the hug and headed for the living room and I noticed dad with my other elder brother Marco talking, their head snapped to the footsteps , I greeted them and we all talking about things.
" Cade."My mom came smiled and moving closer to me opening her arms .
" Mom."I smiled back "Just come here and give me a hug" she said pulling me closer. I wrapped my arms around her tightly closing my eyes
My mom has been there for me ever since the day she took me in and sheltered me. She never treated me any different than my siblings in fact she favored me more than them and pampered me with her love and attention. She's important woman in my life . She was there helping me heal my trauma, she was there for me when I told her that I got Aurora pregnant. She was there when the twins was born and stayed up night with us changing their diapers and putting them to sleep.
She pulled from the hug and smiled at me and then came my sister chiara with both of the twins holding her hands , she let go of them and jumped in my arms " I missed you " she whispered which only two of us heard , I wrapped my arms around her " I missed you too pearl"she smiled
The rest of the night went smoothly as we had dinner and talked . the twins fell asleep so we bid our goodbyes , promising mom that we'll be back tomorrow for lunch .
